Strong's Lexicon nagid: Leader, Ruler, Prince, Noble, Commander Original Word: נָגִיד Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָגַד (nagad), meaning "to declare" or "to make known." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ἄρχων (archon) - G758: Often translated as "ruler" or "leader," used in the New Testament to describe leaders or authorities. - ἡγεμών (hegemon) - G2232: Translated as "governor" or "leader," referring to those in positions of authority. Usage: The term "nagid" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a leader or ruler, often with a connotation of divinely appointed authority. It is used to describe individuals who hold positions of significant influence and responsibility, such as kings, princes, and military commanders. The word implies not just political or military leadership but also moral and spiritual guidance, as these leaders were often seen as representatives of God's will. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, leadership was often seen as a divine mandate. The "nagid" was expected to lead with wisdom, justice, and adherence to God's laws. This role was not merely administrative but also spiritual, as leaders were to guide the people in covenant faithfulness. The concept of a "nagid" reflects the theocratic nature of Israelite society, where political and religious duties were intertwined.
